Although some call the NFL the No Fun League [no TD celebrations, too strict on taunting, too many flags if the D sneezes in the direction of the QB, etc.]…the 2012 Season is definitely going to be more FUN with T.O. and R.M. in the game; and would have been even more so had Chad Johnson not gone WW[i]F[e].

Seriously, as hard as it was to land a job, I too believe TO will play his heart out. Moss went through some low points but he wil play hard too. The both feel like they have something to prove & I have always believed every great player has one more good game left. In this case, I hope they have 1 more good season. I wish them both well, & I’m a Broncos fan that has no interest in either.

And lose to the giants who we literally embarrassed several weeks prior. Your number 1 defense that we put up 30+ points on and blitzed rather than play coverage…yeah you’re right. Dude do you watch football or do you sit on your computer in your alex smith jersey playing WOW?

No matter how Mike Florio portrays Owens and Moss – talking about how many touchdowns they had in their careers, etc. – although he neglects to state that list includes only ACTIVE WRs.

Florio makes two very misleading comments in the video: (1)People forget what Moss did in 2007 when everyone thought he was washed up in 2006 and (2) people assume he was terrible when he went through 3 teams in 2010 – but he made a great one handed catch beating Revis.

I don’t know who these hypothetical “people” he refers to are – but Moss was acquired by the Patriots because he QUIT on the Raiders (same way he quit on the Vikings) & he was dropped by 3 teams in 2010 for the same thing that has been his trademark his whole career.

Moss has put up spectacular numbers when he played on pass-heavy teams that set the all-time record for points in a season, but imagine him playing on the pre-Roethlisberger Steelers who won with running the ball behind Jerome Bettis, great defense and a mediocre QB. Would Moss be willing to play to the team style like Hines Ward, laying blocks? How would he do on the 2008 Titans (Chris Johnson/Kerry Collins) or the current Ravens with Rice and Flacco?

You want to “assess” Moss – let’s see how hard he plays when the 49ers play to their strengths, running the ball with Frank Gore and playing a field possession game.

As far as Owens goes – here’s a guy who played hard – no question – and showed a lot of guts for how he played in the Super Bowl on a broken leg. He also set the 49ers back several years, reneged on a deal to go to Baltimore, destroyed the Eagles organization – dividing the locker room so badly they went from a team just shy of the Super Bowl to medicore and made a career out of showboating and putting himself before everyone else. He couldn’t keep his committments to an Arena football league team and has made a disaster out of his personal life.

What is disgusting is how these guys, based on statistics – are considered Hall of Fame players. But the reality is that for all their padded statistics, neither would ever put the needs of the team before the needs of themselves – hence they combined for zero championships despite both playing for teams that genuinely had the ability to win it all.

WRs like Hines Ward, Rod Smith and Marvin Harrison may not have gotten the same media attention – but they always gave their team everything they had every game through their entire career – Owens and Moss “ready to give everything they have” is a joke in and of itself – because they’ll give everything they have, so long as there is something in it for them.

Im tired of seeing these two guys linked together. Moss is a quitter and T.O is a beast that leaves it all on the field. They are NOTHING alike
——————————
So Moss is a quitter because, he plays for the 9ERS?? Owens is a beast because, he plays for YOUR seacawks?? Your an IDIOT!! Just years ago when Owens was a 9ER you hated him & now he is a beast because, he is on your team. SHUT UP!!!

Cali- lots of respect, but I’m not a Seahawks or a 49er fan. Moss has a history of giving up on his team, he’s a quitter, plain and simple. Terrell Owens is H.O.F wide receiver, I’d take him on my team ANY day over Moss…. T.O doesn’t quit, their names dont even belong in the same sentence
